"While searching for a SharePoint Taxonomy based solution for tracking specialized staff training records, we came across DiscoverMe® through SharePoint taxonomy experts: WAND, Inc. in partnership with FidraSoft Ltd.
The delivered SharePoint integrated application not only solved our initially scoped use case, it also provided great potential for enhancing collaboration between our research staff at large.
WAND's personal introduction to the product and the brilliant efforts of FidraSoft have delivered the custom solution we were looking for."
"When getting our business ready for launch, the team at FidraSoft were fantastic and really helped get us off the ground. At what was already a very busy time for us, it was great to have such a helpful, competent, talented and trusted team to help us out.
They had a better understanding of our IT needs than we did and they just stepped in and sorted everything out. They were easy to deal with, quickly responding to any questions we had and accommodating the inevitable changes we needed as we set up our information systems.
FidraSoft did a brilliant job and I can’t recommend them highly enough."
